Apr 30 at 12:56 comment added Elías Guisado Villalgordo To give a reference, one can look at EGA IV₂, sections 3.1, 3.2.
Dec 10, 2009 at 8:19 comment added Andrew Critch @Ho Chung, definitely check out the references I made to The Geometry of Schemes. @Greg, thanks, as usual! In case you're wondering what's up, I want to leave the question open awhile longer until I've had more time to think about it myself, in case someone might mentions something else cool I should know. I haven't forgotten about it :) Cheers,
Dec 7, 2009 at 14:59 comment added Greg Kuperberg The visualization is easy: The embedded primes are dots on top of the curves drawn in the surface, or curves on top of the surfaces drawn in space. $Spec(A/P_i)$ is a subvariety embedded in the subvariety $Spec(A/P_j)$.
Dec 7, 2009 at 13:38 comment added user709 Seems like it's not mentioned that any irreducible component arises as $\Spec(A/P_i)$, so I'm adding this remark. Another thing: While minimal primes are in general easier to visualize, it seems really hard to depict embedded primes. Does anyone have good ideas on that?
